GCG
On Saturday mornings I'd ride to the movies,
CGCD
Booted and spurred on my horse made of tin
GCG
Tie-up my cyi-use outside on the pavement
Eric Bogle
'Front Row Cowboy'
#Chorded by Shawn and Andrew Prest
CGDG
Lay down my sixpence and mosey on in.
DCG
I'd sit in the front row with the other young cowboys
DCG
Waitin' for Roy to appear on the screen
DCG
Waitin' for Roy and his golden horse Trigger,
CGDG
To carry me off into my favorite dream.
Chorus:
GCG
Roy Rogers, Roy Rogers, Oh you were my hero,
CGCD
A man made of steel on a horse made of gold
GCG
Together we rode through the days of my childhood
CGDG
Memories like heroes, they never grow old.
GCG
Together we rode over mountains and valleys
CGCD
Camped out a night 'neath the wide prairie sky,
GCG
We'd sing cowboy songs as we sat by the campfire
CGDG
While out in the darkness a wild coyote cried
DCG
Yi-pi-tie-yi-yo baked beans and coffee,
DCG
Tall tales and true as we sat by the fire
DCG
Then up in the morning and away we'd go riding.
CGDG
Two gay caballeros, two heroes for hire.
GCG
And now I'm a man, and I've hung up my six-gun
CGCD
No more do I ride on a horse made of tin.
GCG
Now I ride subways, and freeways and railways,
CGDG
Instead of a six-gun I now wield a pen.
DCG
But part of my heart will always be ridin'
DCG
Along the bright canyons and the wild forest ways
DCG
Along with Roy Rogers my faithful companion,
CGDG
Into the sunset of my childhood days.

'Front Row Cowboy'
Chorus:
GCG
Roy Rogers, Roy Rogers, Oh you were my hero,
CGCD
A man made of steel on a horse made of gold
GCG
Together we rode through the days of my childhood
CGDG
Memories like heroes, they never grow old.
GC
He was my friend, yes, he was my friend.
DG
He never let me down.
GC
He was honest and faithful right up to the end
DCG
I loved Roy Rogers 'cause he was my friend.
